However, if you prefer quick-cooking porridge, the biscuits will delight you with their delicate taste. The flakes should not be poured all at once, it is better to gradually add them to the banana puree and, while stirring, look at the consistency of the healthy dough - it should turn out to be quite thick.
3. In the end, any dried fruit can be added to chopped bananas and oatmeal, this recipe uses dried cranberries. You can also use raisins, prunes, dried apricots, small pieces of milk and dark chocolate, or add ground nuts. If you prefer walnuts, then you can fry them a little beforehand; such a dessert will turn out no less tasty if you use hazelnuts ground on a coffee grinder
4. Before you start forming cookies, put the oven to preheat to 180 degrees. Next, take a large baking sheet, cover it with parchment paper, and then lay out small cookies on the paper with a spoon. You do not need to make cookies that are too thick, otherwise they simply will not bake. It is recommended to bake a healthy dessert at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. The finished biscuits should acquire a beautiful golden hue. If desired, the cooled dessert can be lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar or coconut.
